What is a print model?

Print models are professional models who specialize in posing for photographs that appear in printed materials such as magazines, catalogs, advertisements, brochures, and product packaging. Unlike runway models, print models focus on still photography rather than live fashion shows. They work closely with photographers, stylists, and art directors to create images that showcase clothing, products, or concepts. Print models come in various shapes, sizes, and looks, depending on the needs of a particular campaign or publication.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a print model, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Print Model, you need a professional appearance, strong posing ability, and experience or training in modeling techniques. Familiarity with industry-standard photo shoot processes and portfolios, as well as agencies or comp cards, is often required. Confidence, adaptability, and the ability to take direction well are essential soft skills for success. These skills ensure that a model can effectively represent brands and meet the creative vision of photographers and clients.

What are some common challenges faced by print models during photo shoots, and how can they prepare for them?

Print models often encounter challenges such as long hours on set, frequent wardrobe changes, and the need to convey a range of expressions and poses on cue. Maintaining energy and focus throughout the shoot is essential, as is being adaptable to different creative directions from photographers and stylists. To prepare, models should practice a variety of poses, ensure they understand the shoot’s requirements beforehand, and maintain good physical and skin health. Building strong communication skills also helps in collaborating effectively with the creative team.

Print Models primarily focus on posing and presenting themselves for print advertisements, requiring minimal technical skills but strong presentation. Print Photographers, on the other hand, capture images used in print media, needing technical photography skills and equipment knowledge. Both roles are integral to print media but differ in skill set and work environment.

Job description

Do you want to change how the world creates?

At Formlabs, we're building the tools that make it possible for anyone to bring their ideas to life, from cutting-edge products to life-saving medical devices. Our 3D printing technology powers innovation at more than 50,000 industry leaders worldwide, including Apple, Google, Tesla, New Balance, and NASA. Together, we're helping everyone design, prototype, and manufacture faster than ever before.

We're a team of hands-on builders, engineers, and innovators reinventing how the world makes physical things. If you're ready to shape the future of fabrication, come build it with us.

Our Software team continues to develop one of the most powerful and intuitive desktop print applications on the market: PreForm. Fine-tuning the geometry of models in space is one of the most complex challenges our Software Team tackles -- such as: Path planning and tool path generation, motor control for the printer, print success estimation (failure mode detection, typically using FEA/FEM, computational fluid dynamics, etc.), geometry (mesh slicing, polygon arithmetic, mesh repair and generation), support structure generation, printer/desktop communication, and dynamic, real-time print failure detection (computer vision, machine learning).

If you are a talented engineer who is excited to dive into with 3D geometric algorithms and other challenging problems, we want you to join the Desktop Software Team as an Senior Software Engineer.

The Job:

  • Develop world class desktop 3D printer software with a focus on geometric algorithms
  • Work with R&D teams to integrate newly researched features into the production PreForm codebase
  • Ship value-generating features to tens of thousands of users by implementing and optimizing a wide range of complex algorithms
  • Work with Product Management teams to define long-term feature roadmap

You:

  • Extensive experience writing C++ code for desktop applications
  • Ready to collaborate with a wide range of technical disciplines, including Software, Hardware, and Design teams
  • Experienced with object oriented design and development
  • Excited to study computer science journal articles to supplement algorithm development
  • Experience developing 3D graphics or computational geometry

Bonus Skills:

  • Experience with solid mechanics or FEM
  • Experience with image processing

Our Perks & Benefits:

  • Robust equity program to build future wealth through RSUs
  • Comprehensive healthcare coverage (Medical, Dental, Vision)
  • Low cost fund options in our 401K and access to advisors 
  • Generous paid Parental Leave (up to 16 weeks)
  • Tenure-based paid Sabbatical Leave (up to 6 weeks)
  • Flexible Out of Office Plan - Take time when you need it
  • Ample on-site parking & pre-tax commuter benefits
  • Healthy on-site lunches, snacks, beverages, & treats
  • Regular sponsored professional development opportunities
  • Many opt-in culture events across our diverse community
  • And of course... unlimited 3D prints
